REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE REVIEW OF THE VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Balduzzi:
By letter dated January 25, 2006, Entergy Nudear Operations, Inc. submitted an application pursuant to 10 CFR Part 54, to renew the operating license for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, for review by the U.S. Nudear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff). The staff is reviewing the information contained in the license renewal application and has identified, in the enclosure, areas where additional information is needed to complete the review.
This request for additional information was discussed with David Mannai et al, and a mutually agreeable date for the response is within 30 days from the date of this letter. A revised schedule for completion of the Vermont Yankee Nudear Power Station license renewal application review will be issued upon receipt of a satisfactory response to this request for additional information. If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-4053 or e-mail JGRISnrc.qov.
Sincerely, IRA!
